In China's South Song dynasty, a military leader by the name Yue Fei (岳飞) [1], was sentenced to death by his political enemy Qin Hui (秦桧) [2] on false accusations.

What made this event particularly memorable, in addition to the fact that Yue Fei was considered a patriot; was that Qin Hui had blatantly responded to questions of how can you prove your accusations?

Qin Hui's reply: Yue Fei, when given, the right power, probably would commit those wrongdoings.

This is called 莫须有 [3].

You know why Chinese are not as angry as an American could be on Huawei's situations? Because everyone understand this is a political conflict. For this type of conflicts, only true power and strength can get any answer. Talking is not only futile, it's countereffective.

The difference here is Yue Fei has had a solid track record of being loyal to the emperor. In contrast with Huawei being CCP controlled, having poor track record of intellectual theft, and that CCP having clear conflicts of interest with the countries Huawei is doing business with.

> having poor track record of intellectual theft, and that CCP having clear conflicts of interest with the countries Huawei is doing business with.

You manage to generate completely nonsensical gibberish in very short sentence:

> having poor track record of intellectual theft

You are saying CCP did a poor job of stealing IP? Or you are saying CCP had done well in stealing IP?

If the latter, where is your evidence? CCP uses market coercion to force IP transfer, that's a well known practice. But where are the state sponsored IP theft?

> CCP having clear conflicts of interest with the countries Huawei is doing business with.

How so?

Obama called for G2 in [1], that's some serious recognition of the common interests between US and China. Right before Trump, you can find overwhelming official documents calling the sino us relationship being a overall positive one.

So suddenly, CCP becomes the bad guy because CCP had lots of conflicting interest?

And, for all the conflicting interests, other than the unfounded cyber security nonsense, what are the interests that huawei had a stake in?
